Product Details

This piece of Damasquinado de Oro was created in the city of Toledo, Spain by the artisans at Anframa, S.A. A craft brought to Spain by the Arabs, this art of decorating non-precious metals with 18 and 24 carat gold has remained virtually unchanged over the centuries. Damasquinado de Oro items generally reflect two distinct types of patterns: the Arabesque or geometric designs and the Renaissance motifs, displaying variations of birds and flowers. These patterns are obtained by engraving deep, patterned cuts into steel and then placing a gold foil into the lines of the design. The foil is hammered until the gold penetrates into the cuts. Each piece is treated with a bluing solution to obtain oxidation and the black background is formed. All non-decorated areas are plated with 24 carat gold and any piece may be cleaned in the traditional way by using bread crumbs soaked in olive oil. Comes with a story card. Pin is 1.25" in diameter. 1 PIN AVAILABLE.
